Well, it is time for me to start researching tires. I have 305/70-16 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S right now, and they have been a good tire, I have around 48,000 miles on them and could go a few more. But have a separated belt in a tire or two.

 

I am thinking of putting the Goodyear's back on, but have also been looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler, Dunlop Rover RV. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two tires? Also liked the Revo's but didn't see that they made that tire in a 305?

 

Thanks in advance guys!

I have the Nittos in a 285. Pretty much the only thing I don't like about them is the fact that there is no white letters, solid or raised. Black on both sides.

 

They do great in the sand, and about as good as any AT type tire will do in the mud.

 

Here is what the tread looks like:

The majority of my driving is done on paved roads, but i like to have fun off the road too....

 

Does anyone have any other tire suggestions other than what have been said here?

My neighbor just bought the Micky Thompson AT tire....Got all 4 285s out the door for something like $530 :jester: The lugs are spaced fairly far apart on them...They look like they would do well offroad. He sure likes them.

 

If you want a pic, just ask, and I'll walk over there and snap one.

If you are looking for an AT tire, the BFG AT is a hard tire to beat. Excellent ride quality, excellent traction in most situations and excellent wear.

 

 

I have had two sets and LOVE them. :jester:

i'll second the bfg's! i have almost 60k on mine and they are still looking pretty good.

 

when i replace them this fall, I will either get the bfgs or the revos. lots of people here rave about the revos. whichever one is the better deal at the time...

I think you'll see a lot of votes for the BFG's or the Revos - I don't honestly think you can go wrong with either one. I have the BFG's in 285 on mine, but I got a better deal on them than the Bridgestones - either way you can't go wrong - I've always loved BFG tires on any any vehicle and have owned several sets on several different vehicles and I've loved every set - haven't had reason not to buy BFG's so I stuck with what worked for me! The Revos are a heck of a tire and those would for sure be my second choice! :jester:

Like I have said on another post, I worked for firestone and we installed a ton of revo's, and I have used them on our pre-runner for desert racing. Beautiful tire! BFG's are great too.. however the a/t usually has a crummy wear pattern.. but chevy's are funny like that in that they dont really wear tires bad. I have a set of 315/75/16 pro comp X-terrains on my truck and I love them. They are really pricy, and I have not had them long enough to see how they wear really. My vote is with the Revo's due to almost silent ride after 50 k on a desert truck which beats the hell out of tires... and the grip on and off road, wet and dry and snowy is incredible! Make that two votes for the revo's from me! Just my .02 cents.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
